Tire choice for the cold?

Quick question, it's going to be in the low 40's today and dry. Should I go with the 710's or the RT-615's for auto-x?

I would still think the V710s would be superior after you heat them up.

The 710s will need a run or 2 to get some heat in them. Use tire blankets if possible. The falkins will provide more consistant grip while cold.

Well the results are in.........best in class and second fastest raw time of the day. I spun on my first three runs, however.
I found that a delicate touch is needed for the first third of the course. I also noticed that having a passenger really seemed to help today.
